SATURbAY. MAY 8, 1954 Red's Asian' .. Q u est Stoppable-Dulles WASHINGTON, May 7 M—Secretary , of State Dulles said tonight the free world can block Communist conquest of Southeast Asia but that "this may involve serious commit ments by us all." At the same time, he solemnly warned in a nationwide television-radio address that the United States "would be gravely concerned" if any Indochina armistice agreed to by France "would provide a road to a Communist takeover and further aggression." ikeis Plans For T-H Low Are Blocked WASHINGTON, May 7 (P) The Senate virtually killed a ma jor section of the administrations' legislative program today by shunting aside President Eisen hower's program for revising the Taft-Hartley labor law. -This appeared to erase any hope that changes in the nation's basic labor law will be made during this session of Congress. Pennsylvania's two U.S. sena tors, James H. Duff and Edward A. Martin voted for the program. Northern and Southern Demo crats joined forces to block the bill, which contained most of the 14 recommendations Eisenhower made to Congress in a special mes sage Jan. 11. Senate Passes Seaway Bill WASHINGTON, May 7 (JP)—The Senate completed congressional action on the St. Lawrence Sea way bill today and started talking immediately about expanding the 105-million-dollar project later.

The -Senate's action avoided the necessity of a House-Senate con ference committee to work out differences. The Senate originally had passed the bill in January and tae House, making only a few changes, concurred yesterday by a 241-158 vote.

Dulles franklyacknowledged that "difficulties have been en countered" in his drive to line up the United States and nine other free governments in a "united front." But, he added: "Under all the circumstances, believe that good progress is being made. I feel confident that the outcome will be such that Com munist aggression will not be able to gain in Southeast Asia the re sults •it seeks. In an obvious move to reassure worried legislators, Dulles pledged that Congress would be "a full partner" in any move President Eisenhower decides upon "which might involve the use of armed force." In spelling out the American attitude toward Indochina armis tice talks with the Reds, Dulles said it "would be areal contribu tion to the cause of peace" if "an armistice on honorable terms and under proper safeguards" could be negotiated. Dulles said flatly that in Indo china present conditions "do not provide a suitable basis" for the United States "to participate with its armed forces."

Brownell to Judge McCarthy 'Letter' WASHINGTON, May 7 (.P)—Senators investigating the Mc- Carthy-Pentagon row called on Atty. Gen. Brownell today to say whether any portions of a controversial "letter"—based in part on a secret FBI report—can be used as evidence. Thtis they avoided for the moment a showdown between Brown- ell and Sen McCarthy (R-Wis), who produced the "letter" in the first place and has threatened to defy the attorney general's ruling that it should not be made public. Sen. Mundt (R-SD), acting chairman of the Senate Investiga tions subcommittee, told news men after a closed meeting it was agreed he should write Brownell asking if parts of the McCarthy produced document can be used.

The U.S. reply rejected the So viet offer to discuss joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion and setting up all-Europe security, arrangement. The U.S. reply said NATO was created five years ago as a pooled defense against the encroachment of the Soviet political, economic and military systems. "All its decisions are taken by unanimous consent," the note added. "The Soviet Union as a member of the organization would therefore be in a position to veto every decision." As to the all-inclusive security arrangements proposed by the Russians, the Big Three countered that no "new illusory security or ganizations" could substitute for groupings of "like-minded states" such as in NATO. , "The United States government remains convinced," the note de clared, 'that the only way to re move the sense of insecurity which weighs on the world is through step-by-step solution of individual problems.
